Immunoscreening of a lambda gt11 genomic library of Borrelia burgdorferi expressed in Escherichia coli permitted detection of a clone containing a partial sequence of a B. burgdorferi gene encoding a protein with significant homology to TmpC of Treponema pallidum. Subsequent cloning and DNA sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame encoding a protein with 353 amino acid residues. The open reading frame is preceded by putative promoter sequences and a ribosome binding site, and is initiated with a TTG. The putative protein shares 26% identity with TmpC, contains a signal peptidase II sequence, and is also homologous to the gene products of the recently described bmpA and bmpB of B. burgdorferi. This gene has been designated bmpC. Additional sequencing and restriction analysis indicate that it is located at approximately 400 kbp on the chromosomal map of B. burgdorferi, immediately upstream of bmpA and bmpB.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
